Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Product Overview

T2700G-28TQ/T3700G-28TQ is TP-Link’s JetStream Stackable L2+/L3 Managed Switch, supporting

up to 4 SFP+ slots. T2700G-28TQ/T3700G-28TQ is ideal for large businesses, campuses or SMB

networks requiring an outstanding, reliable and affordable 10 Gigabit solution.

T2700G-28TQ/T3700G-28TQ supports stacking of up to 8 units, thus providing flexible scalability

and protective redundancy for your networks. Moreover, aiming to better protect your network,

T2700G-28TQ/T3700G-28TQ’s main power is removable. With the help of TP-Link’s RPS,

administrators can easily change its main power if it encounters some problems without shutting

down the switch, thus enabling your network to really enjoy the benefit of uninterrupted operation.

Supporting advanced features such as OSPF, VRRP, IGMP and PIM DM/SM, T3700G-28TQ can fully

implement resilient scalable networks, and T2700G-28TQ can be upgraded with the addition of a

layer 3 license to provide these layer 3 routing features as well.
